Readings: The reading assignments are
listed below. Complete the readings before the corresponding lectures. You must complete the READING QUIZ for each day before the beginning of class.

Homework: There will be no homework
assignments except the assigned reading and the READING QUIZ.

Exams: There will be three exams,
held on the Physics Common Exam days during the semester (see below), and the final exam. Each common exam will
consist of roughly 50 multiple-choice and/or true-false questions, all
of which will come directly from class presentations or the text book.
Some material in the assigned readings may not be presented in class,
yet will be on the exam, so reading the material is essential. The
final exam will consist of roughly 100 multiple-choice and/or true-false
questions covering material from the entire course. Each exam will
be "closed-book" and "closed-notes." No "formula sheet" or "cheat
sheet" will be provided or permitted for any examination.

Grades: Your grade will be based on
the READING QUIZZES (15%), the three exams (20% each) and the final exam (25%). The examinations
will be administered on the following dates.

There will be no "make-up" examinations.
If you plan to be absent on one of the above dates, you must discuss your
situation with the instructor on the first day of class (Friday, September 02, 2005). If you miss an examination and you have not discussed the situation
with the instructor on the first day of class, you will receive a grade
of zero for that examination. Each exam grade and the final grade will
be based on the following table. Neither the exam grades nor the
final grades will be curved.

70 - 79%

Observing Sessions: At least two optional
observing sessions will be held at a location and time to be announced.

Attendance and in-class behavior: Attendance
is required at every lecture. If you miss three lectures, your name will
be surrendered to the Dean of Freshman Studies who may drop you from the
course. As a common courtesy to your fellow students and the instructor,
you are expected to follow these guidelines: Arrive on time and stay until
class is dismissed. Be attentive in class, e.g. do not eat, sleep,
or read newspapers, etc. If you expect to be late or miss a class,
inform the instructor in advance.

Academic Integrity: Students will comply
with the NJIT Honor Code at all times. Any student who is disruptive in
the classroom will be in violation of the Academic Honor Code and will
be reported to the Dean of Student Services. Cheating of any kind during
the examinations is a violation of the Honor Code. Any such violation
will result in the student automatically failing the course and the incident
will be reported to the Dean of Student Services for further action. Examples
of cheating include, but not limited to, talking with another student,
copying work from another student's exam paper, allowing another student
to copy from your exam paper, or use of any materials other than those
expressly allowed during the exam.
